Wesley's Notes

31:19 Perish - When it was in my power to help them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

19. perish-that is, ready to perish (Job 29:13).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

31:16-23 Job's conscience gave testimony concerning his just and charitable behaviour toward the poor. He is most large upon this head, because in this matter he was particularly accused. He was tender of all, and hurtful to none. Notice the principles by which Job was restrained from being uncharitable and unmerciful. He stood in awe of the Lord, as certainly against him, if he should wrong the poor. Regard to worldly interests may restrain a man from actual crimes; but the grace of God alone can make him hate, dread, and shun sinful thoughts and desires.


Job 22:6 "For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause, And stripped men naked.
Job 24:4 "They push the needy aside from the road; The poor of the land are made to hide themselves altogether.
Job 29:13 "The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow's heart sing for joy. (NASB ©1995)
